Newton Summer Camps

Video game design, animation, LEGO robotics, and digital movies are just some of the possibilities for kids in grades 2-8 at Children's Technology Workshop's icamp. Each child creates his or her own experience by choosing an Adventure theme, such as Mission to Mars, Medieval, Fashion Design, or Music Mogul, to develop a story. Then they combine technology applications to make their vision a reality. Every child works on their own projects and laptops, letting them create their own experience working with the stories and technologies that interest them most.

Our trained instructors guide all campers in projects that suit their age, interests, and skill level to ensure a fun and rewarding experience for everyone. We break throughout the day for group and outdoor activities. The week ends with the Friday Showcase of final projects played for parents, and campers take their digital projects home to enjoy and share.

A Newton Community Farm summer program for Middle School Students
(Going into grades 6 through 9)

Spend a week outdoors with your peers and the staff from Newton Community Farm, learning to plant, maintain, and harvest a farm garden. Discover how food is produced, and enjoy camaraderie with your fellow gardeners, farm staff and volunteers. Work at the farm, maintain garden plots at Nahanton Park, and grow food for the Newton Food Pantry.

Students may sign up for one or more weekly sessions. Each session will include gardening (what it takes to be a farmer), community lunches (bring your own, and share a dish made from fresh farm produce), and a different discussion theme related to social justice and/or sustainable agriculture. Learn a lot, work hard and have fun!

Campers create their own experience by choosing one of 11 adventure themes- such as Mission to Mars, Team F1, Medieval, and Fashion Designer, to name a few- to develop a story for their project. Then they combine technology applications to make their visions reality. Project plans and tutorials help teach about programming and design, and our trained instructors guide all campers in projects that suit their age, interests, and skill level to ensure a fun and rewarding experience for everyone. The week ends with the Friday Showcase of final projects played for parents, and campers take their digital projects home to enjoy and share. Call CTWBoston at 617-395-7527 for more information.
